It is another fresh start in the dugout for Manchester United this weekend, but we fear their problems on the pitch may continue when hosting neighbours City .
New interim manager Michael Carrick faces a baptism of fire against opponents who are unbeaten in 13 outings and looking to put pressure on Arsenal at the top of the table.
City brushed aside the Red Devils 3-0 earlier this season and are fancied to prevail again at 20/21 for our first Man Utd vs Man City prediction.

Head To Head
Man Utd vs Man City Head-To-Head Record
United’s derby record isn’t actually that bad since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, posting 11 wins and five draws against 16 defeats.
The Red Devils took four points off City under Ruben Amorim last term, but were comprehensively beaten at Etihad Stadium back in September.
Form Guides
Man Utd Form Guide
United are seventh in the Premier League table after woefully failing to make the most of a favourable run of fixtures over the past couple of months. Home games against Everton , West Ham, Bournemouth and Wolves yielded just three points, with the only positive recent Old Trafford result being a 1-0 win over Newcastle . To be fair, the Red Devils performed better in away draws at Leeds and Burnley , but Darren Fletcher’s stint as caretaker boss ended poorly with a 2-1 FA Cup loss to Brighton on home turf.
Incoming Carrick , who won five Premier League titles and the Champions League as a player with United , said: “I know what it takes to succeed here. “There is still a lot to fight for this season, we are ready to pull everyone together and give the fans the performances that their loyal support deserves.”
Getting Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo back from AFCON duty is a big boost, but Fletcher alluded to how it will take time to readjust from Amorim’s much-maligned formation, and United’s defence has looked very fragile in the last two matches. Examining the Man Utd vs Man City odds, we like a BOYLE Sports price boost of 6/4 for the visitors to score in both halves.
Man City Form Guide
City’s title hopes were hampered by a hat-trick of draws against Sunderland , Chelsea and Brighton , but a couple of subsequent cup wins have lifted spirits back up. The Blues romped to a 10-1 FA Cup triumph over Exeter and then secured a 2-0 success at Newcastle in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final, with new signing Antoine Semenyo scoring in both games.
That made it six goals in eight outings altogether for the red-hot winger, who struck at Old Trafford for Bournemouth last month. Serial trophy winner Pep Guardiola knows the race for more silverware is hotting up and said: “The spirit is there. I smell it at every training session.” The Blues have been in front at the interval in six of their last seven derby wins, so 11/5 for them to lead at half-time and full-time is added to our Man Utd vs Man City betting tips.
For those wanting a bigger pay-out, how about 30/1 for a 3-1 away win and Erling Haaland to score first, as the Norway striker has netted eight times in six Premier League appearances against United .
